        Here's a photo that I took in 2016 of the current mile marker on Route 301 North. I believe the Surratt Society of Clinton, MD, helped compose the text.pic.twitter.com/rfUnCZbZWi

        That sign, on the median of 301 North in Virginia, no longer looks nearly that good and to take that picture you would need to brave traffic coming up behind you with no where to park your car. It's a very inconspicuous posting for an important event.

        Some deaths don't seem to bring the appropriate closure. A meaningless person ended the life of one of the most consequential presidents who ever held the office. Not a lot of people know that.

        Michael, was Robert Redford's The Conspirator accurate? Just saw it last week--it was pretty good but I'm not sure how accurate the story is. PS Love your appearances on Maddow!

        Watched Ken Burns' Civil War (for the countless time) the other night. Learned that Booth witnessed John Brown's hanging. #KnowYourHistory

        You mean Booth's body double was killed on a Virgina farm.

        Drove by this a few years ago, and googled after the fact instead of stopping. Glad I did that.

        All because somebody didn't see a door propped open. We lost the greatest president ever, since Washington. #JohnWilkesBooth
